WU GUANZHONG (1919-2010)
Rice Paddies
Scroll, mounted and framed, ink and colour on paper
93.4 x 84 cm. (36 3⁄4 x 33 1⁄8 in.)
With two seals of the artist

Upper estimate price exceeded by 64 %.

The work Rice Paddies by Wu Guanzhong was sold in the Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2021. It achieved a price of HKD 9,850,000.00 (€ 1,095,220.16), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 64%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wu Guanzhong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Zhou Village in April 2016 with an auction result of HKD 236,000,000.00 (€ 26,588,934.53).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 64 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Rice Paddies von Wu Guanzhong wurde im November 2021 in der Auktion Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 9.850.000,00 (€ 1.095.220,16) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 64%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wu Guanzhong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Zhou Village im April 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 236.000.000,00 (€ 26.588.934,53).
